My daughter's school was hatching chicks from eggs and were giving them away when the school year was over. I am not sure where they got the eggs from, but the chicks were all different breeds. We took two, the other one is an Easter Egger.

I think she's a mixed breed then, she doesn't look like any breeds I recognize.

small pinkish-beige ones. She's never really been great at laying though LOL but we love her!

Hm, okay! I still do think she's a mixed breed. She's a very pretty girl though!

thank you! Yes i think she's gorgeous but really finnicky! She had a lot of health problems as a youngster. When she started laying she had a series of soft shell eggs and then she almost died. We had her in our bathroom for 2 weeks and she pulled through. She has a really rough molt every year. It seems to get better though over the years!
